KFB increase for Beginners - Knit Front & Back Increase (Continental)

How to work an KFB (knit front & back) increase for continental knitters. This video is for beginner knitters who want to learn a basic, and simple increase. A Kfb increase is probably one of the first increases you will learn as a beginner knitter because of how beginner friendly it is. I try and work it slowly and show it from different angles so you can really learn how to do it.

Seriously how simple did you make this!! I’m knitting a triangle shape with a single stitch cast on, increase to 48 and thanks to this tutorial I did it. Amazing. ❤

Thank you so much. Not just for this tutorial, but in general for the way you explain knitting stitches and techniques. You explain it in a way, that is easy to understand, clear and also in the quickest way that I have seen so far.

OOh! Thanks for that simple refresher! I decided to knit a hat for the first time in about 5 years and finished the ribbing only to realize I had forgotten how to increase! Oops! Smooth sailing... until I need to decrease probably? Cheers!

Thanks for this tutorial! Does this kind of increase stay straight? (as opposed to the ones that leans left or right)

@TheBlueMouseKnits 6 ай бұрын

Hi, this increase leans to the left. I can’t think of an increase that doesn’t lean one way or the other except maybe a YO. Lifted increases, even though they lean are the most invisible if that’s what you’re looking for. LLI and RLI

I know this video is from a while ago but does anyone know why when i do this it increases from one stitch to three, rather than two?

@TheBlueMouseKnits 6 ай бұрын

Are you wrapping your yarn around an extra time while working it? Do you get a hole when you do it?

@margaretthompson6054 Жыл бұрын

Emily, my mother was teaching me aran knitting before she died in 2019. I had previously managed a back and two sleeves with mum. I'm trying to get back to it. I'm attempting a small aran cardigan for a young baby. I have knit the 1*1 rib. it now calls for an increase from 69 stitches to 90. I can't understand what Im doing now. i know the pattern starts after i have increased appropriately.

@TheBlueMouseKnits Жыл бұрын

Hey Margaret, I'll try my best to help you figure it out. Feel free to email me a photo of the pattern paragraph you're having trouble with if that's easier for you (bluemouseshop@gmail.com). Is this for a body panel or a sleeve? And does it tell you to increase over X amount of rows, or increase all in 1 row?

@SmittenKitten. 2 жыл бұрын

At 0:24 you show the stitch and explain the front loop and the back loop; on my piece, the front loop is traveling behind the back loop (opposite to yours). I'm not sure what to do. Did I do something wrong beforehand? I apologize if this is a very stupid question. I am very stupid. :(

@lfreischem Жыл бұрын

Hey, I just noticed the same thing about my knitting as I watched this video ;( but the issue for me was that i was wrapping my purl stitches clockwise instead of counterclockwise! I hope this helps I case you need it still!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLKDlKShyq2Rpo0.html You can see it really well in the video I linked in the purl section that starts at 21:55 seconds! I'm defo having to change the way I knit now too haha

@SmittenKitten. Жыл бұрын

@@lfreischem Thank you so much!! I also realized I misspelled the word "stitch" in my original comment... UGH. I'm sure I was wrapping the wrong way. I'm going to try to switch to Continental, too. It seems SO much faster and the results always look nicer. I really appreciate you for taking the time to help! That was super kind of you!

@tracyvision 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, it’s clear and simple and easy to follow. I’m a new knitter and I chose to learn Continental. The other videos I found were all English style, and it’s helpful to see this done Continental style.
